Where we started

2013 — Street outreach in downtown Detroit

When HPEH began in 2013, we stood on the streets of downtown Detroit, serving hot meals to neighbors experiencing homelessness near the shelters and tent communities.

Community in action

The same care, carried forward — food, hygiene essentials, and connection for our neighbors.
